Painted Words and Music of Fire

To all my friends and readers who admire poetry.I have compiled 35 poems to warm your heart on a chilly day or soothe you in a moment of stress. For me, poetry is a healing experience. When one writes a poem there is a healing takes place within, and I do believe that when one reads a poem the same thing happens.
Here, I have attempted to paint pictures and write music that might flow on the pages and swoop you away to some unknown place of peace and beauty. Poetry fulfills a shrunken spirit.

Carol Marlene Smith was born in Springhill, Nova Scotia on a hot August day. From an early age, writing, drawing and singing were her favourite things to do. Carol was a loner who liked to imagine her friends rather than make real ones.
Today Carol spends her time writing novels and short stories and painting animals. Some of her novels are Heart of Winter, Angel's Blessing, and Heart of the Story, all set in Nova Scotia. Carol enjoys writing poetry, romance, mystery/suspense and mainstream.
Carol lives in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia.
